Chapter 170 - 109: A Demon God Breaks Down—Guess Who? (6k)_2
Time and Space!
It sounds like a top-notch heaven-defying concept, typically a standard feature for protagonists in web novels.
In early superpower web novels and apocalypse novels, there was even a pretentious saying: "Time is King, Space is Emperor. Without Destiny, Cause and Effect reigns."
Though modern protagonists in leveling-up web novels also wield these powers, they generally don’t partake in such cringe-worthy antics anymore.
Except for a certain Sea God who enjoys having his mother wrapped around him.
He still likes to frequently spit out cringe-worthy rhymes about piercing the Earth’s core or reviving his lover.
"Interesting little fellow, are you trying to spy on me?" the Reincarnation Demon God asked with interest.
"No, I’m openly watching," Lu Wenwu replied confidently. "And I want to challenge you to a fight, how about it?"
The Reincarnation Demon God’s projection froze.
Ever since becoming a Demon God, it had been ages since He encountered a mortal like Lu Wenwu who dared to challenge Him.
Moreover...
This mere mortal human could actually comprehend the ancient language of His race?
Truly curious.
"You? Challenge me? Hahahahaha, are you serious?"
The Reincarnation Demon God suddenly found it amusing, even laughing.
What did it feel like?
It was like a three-year-old human child with a runny nose holding a plastic sword, declaring in a baby voice to have a life-and-death duel with Ultraman Leo.
The gap was so vast that the one being challenged wouldn’t feel offended at all.
Just amused.
But whether it was a dismissive laugh, a laugh of being entertained, or a kindhearted laugh, was hard to say.
Lu Wenwu answered earnestly, "Yes, I want to challenge you."
"Interesting, commendable courage."
The Reincarnation Demon God’s interest grew.
"Whatever you challenge, I accept. If you manage to tie with me, it’s your win. If you win, I’ll grant you one reasonable request."
The Reincarnation Demon God seemed accommodating, yet His words dripped with arrogance and disdain for Lu Wenwu.
He didn’t believe that Lu Wenwu, a mere mortal, could defeat Him, let alone force a draw.
It was a joke; after all, He was the Dimensional Demon God of Infinite Time!
Time and skill level held no meaning for Him!
He could effortlessly cultivate any skill to crush mere mortals.
Challenging a Dimensional Demon God’s endless time with the limited life of a mortal was laughable!
Lu Wenwu calmly stated, "My request is simple: I challenge you, and as per your rules, if I win or draw, you must lift the curse from the Reincarnation Apostle. Furthermore, you mustn’t interfere with this world in any way..."
The three people, one dog, and one Demon God listened as Lu Wenwu rambled on for nearly half an hour.
Lu Wenwu’s demands were quite simple.
The rest was precautionary to prevent the Reincarnation Demon God from cheating during or after the challenge and to ensure the safety and fairness of him and his group in the future.
"...Above all, you need to swear by your divine position and sign a Demon Contract with me."
Finally, Lu Wenwu finished his precautions and took out a blank Demon Contract, starting to write and imprint it on the spot.
This thing was a friendly gift from Kashan’s father; Lu Wenwu had a stack of them.
At that time, the Old Flame Demon suggested that both sides could collaborate more in the future; just settle communication needs and send a Demon Contract over directly since sending from the Human World to the Abyss was relatively swift.
The benefit of a Demon Contract is that the Abyss as a whole verifies and supervises it.
Once signed, even the contract maker, or true Divine Spirits, cannot break it.
Even top-tier demons within the Divine range favor using Demon Contracts for their agreements.
According to Kashan, due to the strong binding power of Demon Contracts, once the Abyss started external collaborations, Demon Contracts became one of its highest profit export items, sought after by many life forms and races.
The Abyss’s Demon Contracts and Hell’s Devil Contracts have become the most binding universal contracts.
Many demons with poor living conditions often make Demon Contracts to sell to merchants coming to the Abyss for goods, earning cultivation and survival resources in return.
Because of its reliability, Lu Wenwu dared to rely on it for additional precautions to prevent the Reincarnation Demon God from exploiting any loopholes.
Even the powerful Divine Life of the Dimensional Demon God couldn’t break an established Demon Contract.
"A Demon Contract? Interesting mortal, you’ve got quite the means," the Reincarnation Demon God remarked. "Since you’ve piqued my interest, I agree to your request, granting you supreme glory."
With that, the Demon Contract in Lu Wenwu’s hand floated up automatically.
A light flashed, and strange divine scripts were imprinted onto the Demon Contract.
It represented the divine position and name of the Reincarnation Demon God, akin to an ID for a Demon God.
As the contract concluded and turned into rules hidden in the air, Lu Wenwu’s lips curled into a slight smile.
The Reincarnation Demon God eagerly asked, "Speak, mortal, what do you wish to challenge? I can’t wait to defeat you in your proudest domain."
